Don’t Pay $60, Get Soundcore Anker Life Q20 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones for $39.98 Shipped

The Soundcore Anker Life Q20 Hybrid ANC headphones won’t break the bank, as you can get a pair for $39.98 shipped, originally $59.99. Sound quality punches well above the price point. The Life Q20 packs 40mm dynamic drivers, pumping out Hi-Res Audio with frequencies stretching up to 40kHz for clear, rich sound. Bass fans will love the BassUp tech, triggered by a quick double tap on the play button, boosting those deep tones perfect for EDM or hip-hop tracks. Product page.

Where the Life Q20 really shines is its active noise cancellation. With four mics—two inside, two out—the hybrid ANC setup cuts up to 90% of low and mid-range racket, like car engines or plane drones. It’s not on par with Bose’s QuietComfort 45, which costs over $300, but it’s remarkably effective for the price.


Battery life is nothing short of extraordinary. With ANC on, the Life Q20 lasts up to 40 hours at 60% volume, extending to 60 hours in standard mode. A five-minute charge yields four hours of playback, meaning you’re rarely tethered to a charger.

I found that these headphones offer so much better sound isolation then ear buds. While riding in my wife’s car she was listening to her audio book. My premium ear buds with noise cancellation did not prevent me from hearing her book. These headphones do. The sound quality is very good. These headphones are light and not head pressing so they are very comfortable for extended wear. Finally what a great price point for these headphones in contrast to what I spent for my ear buds. As a side note we have landscape services that run annoying gas blowers all the time, all days of the week around the neighborhood. Just wearing these headphones block out the gas blower sound,” said one reviewer.
